Minister of Canadian Heritage and Official Languages Ottawa, Ontario Minister: I have the honour of submitting to you, in accordance with the provisions of section 20(1) of the National Film Act, the Annual Report of the National Film Board of Canada for the period ended March 31, 2014. The report also provides highlights of noteworthy events of this fiscal year. Yours respectfully, Claude Joli-Coeur Acting Government Film Commissioner and Chairperson of the National Film Board of Canada 2013–2014 in Numbers 72 10 18 4 2 85 111 489 27,390 13,280 7,743 Original NFB films and co-productions Interactive websites Digital documents supporting interactive works Public installations Applications for tablets Independent film projects supported by the NFB Filmmaker Assistance Program (FAP) and Aide au cinéma indépendant – Canada (ACIC) Awards New productions on NFB.ca/ONF.ca DVD units (and other products) sold in Canada community, festival and theatrical screenings Television broadcasts in Canada pages 0405 page 6 Audiences 27,654,011 Total estimated Canadian audience 3,119,469 256,489 1,023,823 11,332,000 3,309,705 8,159,998 16,648 23,594 412,285 Views on NFB.ca and ONF.ca Views of interactive productions Online partner views (YouTube, Dailymotion) Television views Institutional views (health and social services, public libraries, etc.) Views in the educational sector (including 247,766 campus subscriber views) Home video views Participants in workshops in Canada Views at public screenings of NFB films (including theatrical views) NFB.ca/ONF.ca 6,341,313 6,367,088 Global visits Global views pages 0607 page 8 message from the Government Film Commissioner Hue: A Matter of Colour Vic Sarin pages 0809 T he 2013–2014 fiscal year marked the beginning of a new chapter for the National Film Board of Canada—the first completed under our 2013–2018 Strategic Plan. Drafted following extensive consultations with every branch of the NFB, the plan is a manifesto calling for a greater focus on innovation and creativity, stronger engagement with Canadians in all of our activities, and continued improvements to the ways in which we work together and manage our resources. It’s a plan that first and foremost challenges us to further the NFB’s role as a global innovator, through our programming, our digital portals and applications, as well as our technical infrastructures. This objective represents a new way of thinking about creativity, one that breaks down the traditional barrier between programming and platforms to prioritize innovation in all forms. The plan also calls for greater accessibility: increasing the presence, awareness and impact of the NFB’s works through an enhanced connection with Canadians and world audiences—in classrooms, communities and cinemas, and on all the platforms where audiences watch, exchange and network around creative content. In addition, we’ve committed ourselves to strengthening and growing our financial capacity by developing a new economic model and novel business opportunities, and we’re working to transform the NFB’s organizational structure into a fluid, dynamic, evolving organism that enhances our ability to work and create differently. Most broadly, we’re seeking to redefine the nature and purpose of the public sphere for the 21st century, with a bold new vision for the public space. page 10 Creativity and innovation The NFB’s pioneering work in programming, portals and applications helps position Canada at the forefront of film and digital media innovation. In 2013–2014, that work was recognized by a total of 111 awards: 43 Canadian and 68 international honours. A key goal of our programming strategy going forward is to more actively and critically focus our point-of-view filmmaking, establishing a clear, distinguishing identity for NFB documentaries. This emphasis was already well on display in the remarkable slate of NFB feature docs produced in 2013–2014. NFB French Program enjoyed a milestone year, with an impressive slate of works that included Carole Laganière’s Absences, winner of the Canadian/Quebec audience award at the Festival de cinéma de la ville de Québec, as well as Danic Champoux’s bold reinvention of the POV documentary genre in Autoportrait sans moi (Self(less) Portrait)—both produced through French Program’s Filmmaker-in-Residence program. Caroline Martel took audiences on a global odyssey to discover that most enigmatic of musical instruments—the ondes Martenot—in the NFB/Productions Artifact co-production Le chant des ondes (Wavemakers), winner of the Golden Athena Award for best film in the Music and Film Competition at the Athens International Film Festival. Marc Fafard offered a soaring portrait of a trailblazing Inuit bush pilot in Les ailes de Johnny May (The Wings of Johnny May), co-produced by Productions Thalie, the NFB and K’ien Productions. Jean-François Caissy built on the NFB’s focus on education with his authentic look at rural Quebec secondary students in the feature documentary La marche à suivre (Guidelines), which was selected to make its world premiere at the prestigious Berlin International Film Festival. Rénald Bellemare and Pierre Goupil added to French Program’s growing body of work on mental health with Il ventait devant ma porte (The Wind at My Door), exploring Goupil’s own experiences with bipolar disorder, while Claude Demers directed his highly personal NFB feature doc D’où je viens (Where I’m From), a free-flowing, poetic exploration of his roots in Montreal’s working-class Verdun borough that had its world premiere at the Rotterdam International Film Festival. NFB English Program gave us such genre-bending works as Chelsea McMullan’s innovative documentary musical about singer and musician Rae Spoon, My Prairie Home. Selected for competition at Sundance—the only Canadian feature-length film to be so honoured this year—My Prairie Home was featured in a national theatrical tour and was named Best Canadian Documentary by the Vancouver Film Critics Circle. Four-time Emmy-winning director John Kastner completed two feature documentaries for us in 2013–2014: NCR: Not Criminally Responsible and Out of Mind, Out of Sight, both co-produced by the NFB and J.S. Kastner Productions. NCR had an enormous impact as Canada considered major changes to how it dealt with people declared not criminally responsible (or “NCR”) for violent crimes due to mental illness, and received glowing praise from Canadian mental health and law professionals, while Out of Mind, Out of Sight provided viewers with an unprecedented look inside the Brockville Mental Health Centre. With education and the health and safety of our children a major concern for all Canadians, legendary NFB filmmaker Alanis Obomsawin’s Hi-Ho Mistahey! documented “Shannen’s Dream,” a remarkable Canada-wide children’s campaign, and its call for better First Nations schools. Dennis Allen’s Crazywater, a powerful first-person documentary about alcoholism in First Nations communities, received the Audience Choice Award for Best Canadian Documentary at the Available Light Film Festival in Whitehorse. Julia Kwan’s Everything Will Be, which premiered at Hot Docs, explored the transformation of Vancouver’s Chinatown through the eyes of the community’s oldest and newest members. The issue of colour prejudice within communities of colour was explored in Vic Sarin’s Hue: A Matter of Colour, a co-production between the NFB and Sepia Films. And as Canada prepared to introduce new prostitution legislation, the NFB contributed to the debate with Teresa MacInnes and Kent Nason’s feature doc Buying Sex, a timely exploration of the state of prostitution laws in Canada. Our documentarians also continued a long NFB tradition of celebrating the achievements of Canadians from all walks of life and key moments in the life of our nation. In his follow-up to his 2011 film Le 22e Régiment en Afghanistan (The Van Doos in Afghanistan), Claude Guilman completed Je me souviens: 100 ans du Royal 22e Régiment (The Van Doos: 100 Years with the Royal 22e Régiment), tracing the founding and history of the country’s first French-Canadian regiment on the occasion of its centennial. Canadian jockey Ron Turcotte won over 3,000 races between 1961 and 1978—as well as the Triple Crown, astride the legendary Secretariat—until a 1978 accident left him paralyzed. Directed by Acadian filmmaker Phil Comeau, the feature documentary Ron Turcotte, jockey légendaire (Secretariat’s Jockey, Ron Turcotte) had its U.S. premiere as part of Kentucky Derby week, with Turcotte and Secretariat owner Penny Chenery in attendance, and would be featured at all three legs of the U.S. Triple Crown, while the Canadian premieres took place in Turcotte’s home province of New Brunswick, with screenings in Moncton and Grand Falls. It was also a year in which productions released in 2012–2013 garnered some of the documentary world’s highest honours, both here and abroad: Sarah Polley’s acclaimed Stories We Tell received the award for best non-fiction film from the New York Film Critics Circle and the best documentary screenplay award from the Writers Guild of America, as well as the award for best documentary of the year from the New York-based International Cinephile Society—to name just three. Hugo Latulippe’s Alphée des étoiles (Alphée of the Stars) received a pair of Gémeaux awards, including the award for best science and nature documentary, and a prestigious Japan Prize, presented page 11 by Japanese public broadcaster NHK. Anne Wheeler’s return to documentary filmmaking in Chi, a powerful look at beloved Vancouver actress Babz Chula’s battle with cancer, was honoured with a Canadian Screen Award for best short documentary. Jeffrey St. Jules’ Let the Daylight into the Swamp, an innovative 3D look at Franco-Ontarian life, was a double winner at the Yorkton Film Festival, receiving Golden Sheaf Awards for Best of Festival as well as Best Experimental Film. Another two-time winner at Yorkton was The Portrait, Hubert Davis’s documentary on the creation of Canada’s official portrait of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II on the occasion of her Diamond Jubilee, which netted Golden Sheafs for both Best Director (Non-fiction) and Documentary Arts & Culture. Animation A world-renowned source of auteur animation, the NFB continued to support and explore groundbreaking creative avenues in 2013–2014, as we prepared to mark the centenary of the birth of NFB animation pioneer Norman McLaren. In Newfoundland and Labrador, we produced 54 Hours, a short animated documentary about a 1914 sealing disaster that is deeply rooted in Newfoundlanders’ sense of identity. Directed by Bruce Alcock and Paton Francis, and written by Michael Crummey, the film was created to mark the 100th anniversary of the disaster and had its world premiere in St. John’s—with many family members of survivors in attendance—as well as online at NFB.ca. A visionary figure in Quebec and Canadian cinema brought his own story back to life in Marie-Josée Saint-Pierre’s innovative Jutra, which tells the tale of director Claude Jutra entirely in his own words, using a fresh approach to both form and content that I believe Jutra himself would have approved of. A master of hand-drawn 3D animation, Genie winner Munro Ferguson completed his latest NFB film, Minotaur, as the NFB and Munro continue to pioneer creative applications for the made-in-Canada Sandde 3D drawing system developed by IMAX Corporation. Featuring a musical score by Kid Koala, Minotaur draws its inspiration from a previous NFB film breakthrough: the immersive In the Labyrinth experience created for Expo 67 in Montreal. Two NFB animated shorts made their world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival this past year: emerging filmmaker Claire Blanchet adapted Montreal writer Heather O’Neill’s short story in the stereoscopic 3D film The End of Pinky, while Bruce Alcock’s Global Mechanic Media/NFB animated coproduction Impromptu offered a look at the redemptive power of food, wine, music and love. Inspired by the filmmaker’s misadventures as a school bus driver, Histoires de bus (Bus Story) by tali offered a humorous look at the realities of rural life in Quebec’s Eastern Townships, while Nul poisson où aller (No Fish Where to Go), by Nicola Lemay and Janice Nadeau, gave audiences a compassionate and poetic exploration of intolerance and the consequences of war. Academy Award-nominated animator Janet Perlman (The Tender Tale of Cinderella Penguin) returned to the NFB to complete her latest work, Monsieur Pug, written in collaboration with celebrated Quebec playwright Larry Tremblay. New releases also included Le sapin d’Éloïse, by Dominic Etienne Simard, and the Lunohod Animation Studio/NFB co-production Jours de pluie (Rainy Days), by Vladimir Leschiov, as well as 3e page après le soleil (Third Page from the Sun), a powerful work by Theodore Ushev, who continued to garner major awards for his previous NFB short Gloria Victoria, including the FIPRESCI prize at the 2013 Annecy International Animation Film Festival. Completed in 2012–2013, Subconscious Password is the first 3D stereoscopic film by Oscar winner Chris Landreth (Ryan), and it received some of the animation world’s highest honours this year, including a Canadian Screen Award for best animated short and the Cristal for best short at the Annecy festival. Another award winner from 2012–2013 was the Papy3D Productions/ ARTE France/NFB co-production Edmond était un âne (Edmond Was a Donkey) by Franck Dion, which added to its long list of honours with the Gémeaux award for best animation. Interactive media In fiscal year 2013–2014, we experienced another landmark chapter in interactive media, one that began with digital media expert Julia Kaganskiy hailing the NFB as a “trailblazer responsible for some of the most progressive and innovative experiments in digital media and interactive storytelling” in her April 29 New Yorker piece, “Where Film Goes to Be Reinvented.” Indeed, it was in New York City that the NFB captured global attention for Journal d’une insomnie collective (A Journal of Insomnia), which was presented as an interactive installation in the Storyscapes section of the Tribeca Film Festival. Produced by Hugues Sweeney, this original nocturnal online experience would go on to win the FNC LAB Innovation Award at Montreal’s Festival du nouveau cinéma and the award for best experimental website or application at the Boomerang Awards, as well as the award for best event website in the Concours Grafika. New York was also the site of our acclaimed collaboration with The New York Times on A Short History of the Highrise. Directed by Katerina Cizek, it’s the latest installment in our multi-year, multimedia documentary project HIGHRISE, offering a global look at life inside residential highrises. Fort McMoney is a trilingual docu-game allowing players to take control of Fort McMurray, Alberta, and make up their own minds about the world’s largest energy project, as they meet with residents from all walks of life and come to better understand the issues facing this unique community. Directed by David Dufresne and co-produced by the NFB, Toxa and ARTE, the online docugame was unveiled at pre-launch events in Montreal, Toronto and Paris before its public premiere at the high-profile International Documentary Film Festival Amsterdam. Fort McMoney was a critical and popular hit, receiving the award for best webdoc at the International Environmental Film Festival in Paris. page 12 Western Canada was also the setting for Métis artist Tyler Hagan’s debut interactive project, Similkameen Crossroads, exploring the intersection of place, faith and identity for the people of British Columbia’s Upper Similkameen Bands. It’s the second interactive release from the NFB/imagineNATIVE Digital Media Partnership, which supports new forms of Indigenous artistic expression and offers Canadian Aboriginal artists an opportunity to develop innovative and socially relevant new-media works. Another NFB interactive work that explored the profound connection of Canadians to the land was Alexi Hobbs’ interactive photo essay The Last Hunt, a project that pushed the envelope of multiplatform development, and which was launched online and as an app at the iTunes Store and Google Play. Citizen engagement was a particular focus in two of our interactive projects produced by the NFB’s Digital Studio in Montreal. For two months in the fall of 2013, the NFB, Quartier des spectacles and Moment Factory gave Montrealers an opportunity to take over a public space through Mégaphone, a remarkable, giantsized “speaker’s corner” that illuminated the façade of UQAM’s President Kennedy Building with the words of passersby, and went on to share the Grand Prize in the Interactive Environment category at the Boomerang Awards. As Quebecers experienced a polarizing debate over Quebec’s planned Charter of Values, the NFB and Urbania partnered to launch Toi, moi et la Charte, an interactive work designed to expand the discussion. Filmmakers Jérémie Battaglia and Vali Fugulin collaborated with the interactive studio Departement, while users contributed their views via Urbania‘s social media networks. The NFB also produced six interactive stories for Hyperlocal, an online collection of personal observations about change in Canadian neighbourhoods commissioned by CBC Canada Writes. This project is part of a commitment at the NFB to exploring and telling underrepresented stories from Canada’s communities. Lastly, completed back in 2011–2012, Bear 71 continued to impress critics this past fiscal year, winning a Webby Award— the Internet’s highest honour—for best net art. And Des maux illisibles, produced in 2012–2013, received the Grand Prize for website or application in the Documentary category at the Boomerang Awards for its efforts to help combat illiteracy in Quebec, which affects approximately 1.3 million people over the age of 16. with a 20-minute Q&A with Commander Hadfield, the first Canadian to command the ISS. This fall, the commander was also kind enough to take part in two Virtual Classrooms, one in each of Canada’s official languages, presented in collaboration with the CSA. Over 265 Canadian schools took part, with approximately 26,000 students participating in a single day! Other Virtual Classroom events in 2013–2014 featured the docudrama We Were Children, presented in partnership with the Legacy of Hope Foundation, to assist educators teaching about Canada’s residential school tragedy; an event about the importance of clean drinking water for all Canadians; and our Holocaust Virtual Classroom, a national professional development web event for educators, produced in partnership with Citizenship and Immigration Canada as part of International Holocaust Awareness Day. Acclaimed apps and platforms The NFB’s growing online and mobile audience reached another milestone this past year: more than 54 million views of NFB content via our online portal, NFB.ca, our apps for smartphones, tablets and connect TV, and our international partner platforms. We launched two acclaimed apps for the iPad last fiscal year, putting animation creation skills and tools in the hands of Canadians young and old alike, and combining the latest in digital technology with the unique legacy of NFB animation excellence. The first app, McLaren’s Workshop, allows users to create their own animation and includes 51 Norman McLaren films as well as 11 documentaries about his unique techniques. Selected as an Editor’s Choice pick by Apple Canada, McLaren’s Workshop made the list of top five apps in the photo and video category during the first week of its release and the top 10 in the U.S. category in its second week. It also garnered the Best in Canadian Culture Award at the Digi Awards in Toronto, the Grand Prize for best website or application in the Art & Culture category at the Boomerang Awards, and the award for Best Cultural Production: Art and Culture at the NUMIX awards. Innovative educational resources Later in the year, we followed up on the success of McLaren’s Workshop with our stop-motion animation app, StopMo Studio. Originally released as PixStop in December 2011, StopMo Studio offers casual and experienced users alike a richer and easier creative experience as they animate their films using frame-by-frame stop-motion. It, too, was an Apple Canada Editor’s Choice, and by year’s end Apple had made the app available in more than 45 countries around the world. The NFB’s leadership in Canadian educational productions and activities truly reached new heights in 2013–2014 as we teamed up with the Canadian Space Agency to create NFB Space School, a free interactive learning experience that engaged young Canadians in space exploration, giving them a front-row seat to CSA astronaut Chris Hadfield’s historic mission aboard the International Space Station (ISS). NFB Space School got an out-of-this-world launch in April from Halifax’s Discovery Centre, Lastly, the NFB and Cinéma Excentris in Montreal announced an innovative partnership to stream films in the Excentris program lineup. As a result of this initiative, some of the films shown in the Greater Montreal area exclusively at Excentris have been offered simultaneously on cinemaexcentris.com and ONF.ca. This collaboration gives audiences throughout Quebec access to Quebec, Canadian and international auteur films in French that would otherwise not be available to them. page 13 Committed to Canadian Aboriginal media and culture As the world’s leading producer of Inuit cinema, the NFB has worked with artists and communities across the North to create a rich audiovisual legacy of Inuit and Arctic history, culture and stories. From April 4 to 28, a selection of some of the NFB’s finest works was on display in the nation’s capital as part of the Canadian Museum of Nature’s Extraordinary Arctic Festival. We were also honoured to work with our co-producers, Eagle Vision and eOne Television, to offer We Were Children as an Expression of Reconciliation to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, to be added to the Bentwood Box and become part of the Commission’s permanent legacy, preserved for future generations. The 2013–2014 year was a pivotal one for the NFB in terms of our commitment to independent and emerging filmmakers across the North. The NFB had previously supported a large number of established co-operatives in major urban centres across southern Canada. Last year, we decided to devote our support to northern film co-ops, which have been historically underserved and face unique challenges as they attempt to build a sustainable base for filmmakers in remote communities. Developing new business opportunities In 2009, the NFB was a pioneer with its online Screening Room, NFB.ca, creating a new standard in digital accessibility for our country’s culture and history. As we continued to implement our digitization plan in 2013–2014—which will eventually see our entire collection digitized—we also began discussions with partners here in Canada and around the world on an ambitious expansion of NFB.ca into a family of user-oriented online channels. We’ll always be committed to offering free access to NFB works online. Now, we’re exploring how best to supplement that traditional online presence with channels tailored to the tastes of those users who love animation, documentary, or other types of programming, and featuring NFB works as well as independent productions from Canadian and international partners. We’re also working on ways to expand our popular online educational service, CAMPUS, both here in Canada—where it already reaches millions of Canadians via schools and public libraries—and into new markets in the U.S. With this objective in mind, we enhanced CAMPUS last year with added features such as “learning bundles,” which assemble films, clips, study guides, articles, images, sound recordings and partner resources, all searchable by theme, subject and age level. Organizational transformation As we prepared to embark on a new chapter for the NFB, with a new strategic vision, we completed a 100-day discussion process with all our employees. The goal was to ensure staff had a chance to embrace the key actions and priorities of our ambitious plan. In addition, our divisions made structural changes in order to better answer the needs and challenges of this plan, including a reorganization of our marketing efforts under our newly appointed Director General of Marketing and Communications. Looking ahead The 2014–2015 fiscal year brings yet another milestone for the NFB: our 75th anniversary. In preparing for this anniversary year, we’ve planned activities that will give audiences across the country opportunities to experience Canadian creative content, underscoring how the NFB has always offered a unique window onto the lives of Canadians while pioneering new directions in audiovisual storytelling. Next year will also mark the centenary of the birth of NFB animation founder Norman McLaren, whose remarkable artistic legacy of innovation and experimentation is at the heart of who we are—a legacy that will be explored in special events here at home as well as in Scotland, the place of McLaren’s birth. Throughout seven and a half decades, the NFB has chronicled authentically Canadian stories from every part of the country and has shared that richness with all Canadians. This vital work is accomplished thanks to the ongoing support of the Government of Canada. As the NFB enters its 75th year, we’re hard at work, guided by a new Strategic Plan and a renewed commitment to transforming how we collaborate and create so as to better serve Canada, engage with Canadians on the issues and stories that matter, and position this country at the cutting edge of innovation in the digital media age.
